All victims have now been identified. 23 year old Jeffrey Moore of Fort Wayne and 22 year old Jaquan Gentry of Fort Wayne were fatally shot, and 26 year old Demetrius masterson of Fort Wayne was treated at the hospital and released.

Moore and Gentry are the 22nd and 23rd homicides in Allen County this year.

In June of 2010, 20 year old Hector Tenorio was the 16th homicide of the year. He was fatally shot outside of that same nightclub.

Chief York says a shooting at the intersection of McKinney and Spatz Monday afternoon was likely in retaliation for this weekend's shootings.

Chief York says, "These gang members are a plague on our city. When we look back traditionally on our homicides, so many of them are either gang related or drug related. It's a problem exacerbated by the accessibility of so many firearms."

He also says it is a problem that so many people were carrying guns inside of Rick O'Shay's and not being properly checked. He says police are dedicating a lot of resources looking into the issue and tracking down the people responsible.

Anyone with any information should call Crime Stoppers at 436-STOP.
